  • 用双隐变量自编码器从振动信号中学习,分离损伤特征与环境变化。
  • 在真实桥梁和齿轮箱数据上实现高鲁棒性损伤检测与量化,性能稳定。
  • 完全无监督训练,适合实际工程中缺乏标注数据的场景。

结构健康监测中的损伤识别面临关键挑战:激励与环境变化等非损伤因素常引起与损伤相当甚至更大的信号波动。本文提出一种无标签自监督解耦表征学习框架,直接从原始加速度信号中学习。通过自编码器设计两个隐变量表示,采用方差-不变-协方差正则化(VICReg)对基线数据中的一个隐变量施加不变性约束,其中结构未损伤但运行条件变化;同时引入频域约束,强制隐变量重构的功率谱密度与输入时间序列计算的谱密度一致。上述机制协同促进特征解耦,使模型仅对损伤敏感而对干扰因素保持不变。框架端到端无监督训练,无需损伤、激励或环境先验信息,适用于真实场景。在桥梁与齿轮箱两个真实振动数据集上验证,结果表明其对运行变异性具有强鲁棒性、良好泛化能力,并实现精确的损伤检测与量化。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Damage identification is a core task in structural health monitoring. In practice, however, its reliability is often compromised by confounding non-damage effects, such as variations in excitation and environmental conditions, which can induce changes comparable to or larger than those caused by structural damage. To address this challenge, this study proposes a self-supervised label-free disentangled representation learning framework for robust vibration-based structural damage identification. The proposed framework employs an autoencoder with two latent representations to learn directly from raw vibration acceleration signals. A self-supervised invariance regularization, implemented via Variance-Invariance-Covariance Regularization (VICReg), is imposed on one latent representation using baseline data where structural damage is assumed constant but operational and environmental conditions vary. In addition, a frequency-domain constraint is introduced to enforce agreement between the power spectral density reconstructed from the latent representation and that computed from the corresponding input time series. Together, these mechanisms promote disentanglement, enabling the learned representation to be sensitive to damage-related characteristics while remaining invariant to nuisance variability. The framework is trained in a fully end-to-end and label-free manner, requiring no prior information on damage, excitation, or environmental conditions, making it well-suited for real-world applications. Its effectiveness is validated on two distinct real-world vibration datasets, including a bridge and a gearbox. The results demonstrate robustness to operational variability, strong generalization capability, and good performance in both damage detection and quantification.
